"I think it's really important that people understand that there is much more that unites our political party than divides us. And, I think you saw a lot that you should in debates, debating about different plans and policies.

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Dick Durbin, (D) Illinois

"After two nights of debates, I have got a great deal of respect for those who are in the running. There are serious differences on issues, but they are all I think united in the belief that we need new leadership in the White House of the United States."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Lindsey Graham, (R) South Carolina

"They are wrestling over what's the best way to provide health care, should you eliminate private coverage through employers? They're wrestling over whether or not you should give free health care to illegal immigrants, and decriminalize entry into the country? Those problems I think will define the election."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Chris Coons, (D) Delaware

"We are a deeply divided country. We need a president who brings us together, who knows how to legislate, who knows how to reach effective compromises and on a wide range of issues from health care to national security to immigration to civil rights to opportunity. Has the record, the experience and the values to do that. Joe Biden is that man. And that's why I'm so pleased to support him."

5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Sen. Mazie Hirono, (D) Hawaii

"I think what we should be focused on is to point out how harmful this president is to everybody's health care, to middle class families, and obviously to anybody who cares about immigrants and doing the right thing."
